Also, why is red light absorbed first in water?

Red light is quickly filtered from water as depth increases and red light effectively never reaches the deep ocean. Color is due to the reflection of different wavelengths of visible light.

Beside above, does water absorb light? Water does not absorb much light in the visible range so most visible light simply passes through. Water is, however, opaque to some other wavelengths such as microwaves.

Secondly, how far does red light penetrate water?

Most of the visible light spectrum is absorbed within 10 meters (33 feet) of the water's surface, and almost none penetrates below 150 meters (490 feet) of water depth, even when the water is very clear. Greater abundances of solid particles in the water will decrease the depth of light penetration.

What color of light is absorbed last in water?

Water absorbs different wavelengths of light to different degrees. The longest wavelengths, with the lowest energy, are absorbed first. Red is the first to be absorbed, followed by orange & yellow. The colors disappear underwater in the same order as they appear in the color spectrum.
